What’s in the Box?

The FM Direct Adapter delivers a professional, behind-the-dash installation by
connecting your XM radio directly to your car’s FM stereo. The included Power Adapter
Socket allows the XM Radio’s Power Adapter to be integrated into the vehicle’s
electronics, freeing up available power sockets. Once you have activated your XM radio,
you automatically receive XM radio programming when your XM radio is turned on,
and normal FM radio reception when it is turned off.

NOTE! Depending on your car, you may need one or two additional antenna
adapters. One to connect the vehicle’s antenna to the FM Direct and another
adapter to connect the FM Direct to your vehicle’s stereo.
